A Field Guide to the Stars and Planets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

By: Jay M. Pasachoff <\/p>\n

HarperCollins Publishers<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The fourth edition of this best-selling field guide was revised and updated, and each printing brings further updates with the latest information. Twenty-four color Monthly Sky Maps show exactly what you\u2019ll see when facing north or south in the night sky. Fifty-two color Atlas Charts cover the entire sky, including close-ups of areas of special interest, such as the Pleiades and the Orion Nebula. Images are included from the August 21, 2017, total solar eclipse, whose path crossed the continental United States, with maps of the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse whose totality path comes from the Mexican Pacific Coast across Texas, the Middle West, and upstate New York and New England, and other aspects of recent and future solar eclipses.  As of the 16th and 17th printings (2018 and 2019), some of the time-sensitive material has been updated for the next decade. A cloudiness-statistic map for the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse across Mexico and the Continental United States is included. The 17th printing, the latest so far, has many tables that have now expired, and an update was approved in August 2022 for probable release in fall 2023, with the delay largely a result of the merger of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and HarperCollins.  The delay will allow the inclusion of James Webb Space Telescope images and updates through 2030 of many tables, graphs, and images.<\/div>\n

Nearest Star<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

By: Leon Golub and Jay M. Pasachoff<\/p>\n

\"nearest<\/a>How did the Sun evolve, and what will it become? What is the origin of its light and heat? How does solar activity affect the atmospheric conditions that make life on Earth possible? These are the questions at the heart of solar physics, and at the core of this book. The Sun is the only star near enough to study in sufficient detail to provide rigorous tests of our theories and to help us understand the more distant and exotic objects throughout the cosmos. Having observed the Sun using both ground-based and spaceborne instruments, the authors bring their extensive personal experience to this story revealing what we have discovered about phenomena from eclipses to neutrinos, space weather, and global warming. This Second Edition (2014) is updated throughout, and features results from the current spacecraft that are aloft, especially NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, for which one of the authors designed some the telescopes.<\/p>\n

The Solar Corona<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

By: Leon Golub and Jay M. Pasachoff<\/p>\n

\"the<\/a><\/p>\n

Intended for graduate students and astronomers seeking an introduction to coronal physics, this textbook strikes a balance between the observational and theoretical aspects of the subject. This second edition takes into account the major observational and theoretical developments of recent years to provide an up-to-date treatment of our understanding of the solar corona. After reviewing the latest observations of the solar corona, the authors explain how the studies have advanced and shaped our understanding of coronal physics. The textbook introduces a wide variety of exciting physics, including dynamo theory and magnetohydrodynamics, and shows how the transient effects of the solar cycle affect space weather. Each subject area is introduced using basic physics, and refers readers to fundamental papers on the topic, key new studies in each area, and extensive discussions in recent review articles.<\/p>\n

Innovation in Astronomy Education<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

By: Jay M. Pasachoff, Rosa M. Ros and Naomi Pasachoff<\/p>\n

\"innovation<\/a>Astronomy leads to an understanding of the history and nature of science, and attracts many young people to education in science and technology. But while in many countries astronomy is not part of the standard curriculum, many scientific and educational societies and government agencies have produced materials and educational resources in astronomy for all educational levels. This volume highlights the general strategies for effective teaching and introduces innovative points of view regarding methods of teaching and learning, particularly those using new technologies. Technology is used in astronomy both for obtaining observations and for teaching. The book also presents ideas for how astronomy can be connected to environmental issues and other topics of public interest. This valuable overview is based on papers and posters presented by many of the world’s leading astronomy educators at a Special Session of the International Astronomical Union General Assembly in Prague in 2006.<\/p>\n

\"teaching<\/a><\/p>\n

Based on papers and posters presented by experts at a Special Session of the International Astronomical Union, this volume highlights the many places for astronomy in the curriculum. It covers relevant education research and “best practice”; strategies for pre-service and in-service teacher education; the use of the Internet and other technologies; and the role that planetariums, observatories, science centers, and organizations can play. It concludes by addressing how the teaching and learning of astronomy can be improved worldwide.<\/p>\n

Fire in the Sky<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

By: Roberta J.M. Olson and Jay M. Pasachoff<\/p>\n

\"fire<\/a>Fire in the Sky collects many representations of comets and meteors in Britain during the eighteen and nineteenth century when a large number of works inspired by these celestial objects were produced. Over 100 photographs–and two sections of luscious color plates–beautifully portray the inspired output of some of the world’s most talented artists, fully capturing the phenomenon that obsessed not only a nation but an era as well. Olson and Pasachoff reveal the many different ways that comets and meteors have appeared in paintings and literature and link these works to the achievements of British science in the wake of Newton and Halley. They also examine the different symbolism that writers and artists have attached to these spectacular objects. Throughout, Fire in the Sky conveys how the development of new technologies, and the burgeoning interest of the general public in science and art, dovetailed with an interest in nature and a strong literary tradition of comet and meteor symbolism. Beautifully illustrated and packed with engaging stories, this book will delight anyone with an interest in the art and astronomy of comets.<\/p>\n
